18, TIIE MORNIXG OREGOX1AX, TIITJKSDAT, ' JUL.T 21, 1921 STRIKE OF MARINE IS Engineers Authorized to Re turn to Private Ships. WHOLE COAST AFFECTED Portland Surplus of Men May F.e Drawn Upon to Fill Fosion? at Other Points. The artike ot marine work' .rs came to a practical end yesterd y on the 81st day of its existence, -when the Portland branch of the Marine En gineers' Beneficial association was authorized to return to 'work on pri vately owned vessels. This ruling was received from San 'Francisco and applies to the entire r. oast. The re turn of union engineers to work on ehippinB-board vesjelj was author ized several weeks as. Though three 'marilime unions on the Pacific coaa t are still out on Ftrike. no diffis uhy is expected in filling all availub'.e places in every department of staamerd operating: in both the off-J tore and coastwise trades. The three s -iking- unions are said to be stronger ; at otner Pacific ports than at Por-.-land. where - about ten applications have been received for every posit,'. on filled, but if sufficient unlicensed men cannot be obtained at San Francisco and Seattle, the Portland nurplus will be drawn upon to fill the vacant places. Settlement la Expected. Thou'g.h no official word to this ef fect Iips been received by the local officRr of the .altars' 'un'on, marine fireriwsn, oilers' and watertenders' union, and the marine cooks' and et.wards' union, it is generally ex pected by the officers and members ef these organizations that a settle ment of some kind between the ship operators and the unions will be. reached within a few divi "The lockout is effective in as full force as ever," said Jack Rosen, Busi ness agent of the sailors' jnion, yes terday, "and everything i3 lovely." Frank P. Dean, representative of th. marine cooks' and stewards' union, said that the steward were still "stickinjr out" and tuat ha ex pected word from headquarters today or tomorrow. Officers ot the fire men's union were also expentiiVT v. or l from headqu liters authorizi lg them to return to work on privately owned vessels. The settlement of the long-drawn-out marine strike followed immedi ately upon the failure of negotiations between the ship owners' associations of this coast and the union represen tatives at San Krancrsco, and the de termination on the part of the op erators to put the coastwise fleet of steam schooners into commission with whatever qualified men were available. Lumber Mllln to Benefit. locally, the settlement of the strike will be felt Immediately in the move ment of the large strtcka of lumber that have accumulates! at the Colum bia river mills which depended upon water transportation for the move ment ot their product, and in the re opening of many ef the ini:'a 'hat were forced to close down when their storage space w&s filled. The re opening of the mills will a:3 furnish employment to hundreds of men in the logging camps. The congestion of general merchan dise awaiting water transporta n between Portland and California, which existed from the beginning of the strike until a short time ago. has been relieved by the resumption of their former runs by the passenger and cargo steamers of the Admiral line and the San Krancisco & Port land Steamship companies. These vessels, giving Portland two sailings or more a week to San Francisco and southern California ports, have been carrying full cargoes both direc tions, and have moved practically all of the general cargo offering. The lumber congestion, however, has been awaiting the reappearance of the team schooners. 3 VESSELS GO TO SEATTLE Craft Are Believed to Have Estab lished Marine Record. By an unusual coincidence, three ocean-going vessels. left Portland yes terday for Seattle, probably for the first time in history. Those depart ing for the sound port were the motorship Kennecott. of the Williams line; the steamer Robin Adair, of the Isthmian line, and the Japanese Hteamer Mandasan Maru of the Mitsui fleet. The Kennecott was the only one of the trio carrying freight from Portland for Seattle discharge. The steamer Robin Adair, following the practice of the Isthmian line ves sels, called in at Portland on her way around from the Atlantic coast to discharge inbound cargo, and is going on to Seattle to discharge the last of her west-bound freight and start loading for the return trip. She will bo here again in a few days to loaa east-bound freight. The Mandasan Maru is a Japanese tramp steamer which brought general freight from the orient to San Fran cisco and Portland and is groine; back to Japan with wheat from Portland and lumber from Puget sound. She finished loading her Portland freight yesterday and left for Seattle to com plete her cargo. JAPANESE STKAMEK DELAYEp Two Anchors and More Than 100 Fathoms of Chain I-ost. ASTORIA. Or.. July 20.

With the new crop comlny in and re ports of la rye yields In various sections of the northwest the hay market Is compara tively dull. This is not an unusual condi tion for this season of the year however, and it is considered there are possibilities of better market conditions later. The arrival in the Portland market of some of the new crop of valley timothy has resulted In quotations on that variety of hay goLr.s; down from 24 a ton to S19 to $20 a ton. Quotations on other grades of hay re main unchanged. A communication issued by th depart ment of agriculture says of thjs hay market: "The movement of new hay in several sections is from ten days to two weeks earlier than usual and many buyers are holding- off buying until they can supply their needs from the new crop. "Eastern markets are very quiet and demand is limited. Farmers close to New York are refusing- to sell at current quo tations because of the drought damage and the expectation of higher prices Other markets were slightly higher1 because of extremely light receipts and but few no tices of country loadings. Stocks of old hay In the markets are very small but dealers continue to buy for their immediate needs only." A diagram Issued by the department of agriculture shows that the average price of alfalfa hay throughout the country is 10 lower than It was a year ago and the average price of timothy hay has dropped $ IS.50 during the same period. TOMATOES ARE MORE PLENTIFUL Honey Dew Melons Now on the Market -New Apples In. Oregon tomatoes are now coming into the market in larger quantities and In a Short time now there will be an ample sup. ply to take care of alt demands. The quo tation on Oregons is now $2.50$;2.75 and It is expected that thee prices will drop shortly as the tomatoes become more plen tiful. . Shipments of melons yesterday included a quantity of honey dews. They went readily at 12.25. Dinuba and Turlock cantaloupes are now on the market in quantities and are sup planting in a large measure the Imperial valley melons, the supply of which is rap Idly becoming exhausted. Receipts yester day included one car of Turlocks. They went at $1.75 for flats to $3.30 for ponies and $4 for 4oe. New apples are now coming In In small quantities. Early cooking varieties from The Dalles were quoted on the street yes terday at from $2 to $3.."0. lt was an nounced that a shipment of California Gr&venatetns is due to get In tomorrow. They are expected to go at around $3 ts $3.50 box. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: Clearings. Balances.

Large Quantity of Wheat Reported Bought, by Exporters for Ship ment to Germany. CHICAGO, July 20. Big receipts and possibility ' or a railroad embargro against grain shipments to Chicago led to down ward swings today In the price of wheat Closing quotations were heavy, 1 to 8 cents net lower. September, $1.25 to 1126 and December $1.29' to ?1.20Vi. Corn lost 4c to mlr and oats c to H461SC. Provisions closed 5 cents lower to a like advance. With estimates current that 2000 car loads of wheat were on track here un loaded and with new arrivals today to taling 654 cars, the wheat marke. was on the decline during the greater part of the session. Continuance of elevator labor troubles was a factor In making the stor age situation acute and in raising he question whether a temporary embargo might be required to relieve the conges tlon. On the other hand, exporters bought 800,000 bushels here and New York ad vised of 250,000 bushels sold for export to Germany. Support was lacking, however, and the close was near the bottom. - Auspicious crop reports had a bearish effect on the corn market. Oats declined with corn, although firm for a while, ow ing to exaggerated reports of export busi ness. Provisions were steadied by assertions that Germany had purchased 3,000,000 pounds of lard. .
